"Fukk Sleep" is a song by American rapper ASAP Rocky featuring English singer FKA Twigs from the former's third studio album, Testing (2018).[1] Produced by Hector Delgado,[2] FnZ, Boi-1da,[3] and Rocky (under the name Lord Flacko), the track was released in 2018 alongside the album. The song was later given a video, directed by Diana Kunst.
The song contains a sample of "FYM", written by Prodigy, Joyner Lucas, Boi-1da and Mystikal, as performed by Lucas. The song's writing credits reflect this, with Twigs and Rocky, as well as Michael Burman, Hector Delgado, Prodigy, Lucas, Boi-1da, and Mystikal being credited as writers.[4] The song was produced by Delgado, Rocky, FnZ, and Boi-1da. Delgado provided background vocals and engineered and mixed the song. The song features keyboards by Andrew VanWyngarden.
Directed by Diana Kunst,[5] the visual sees "Twigs and Rocky serve all of the looks while causing mayhem in the streets and then taking it elsewhere from a fancy restaurant to a grungy strip club."[6] The video's production was handled by Object Animal and O Creative Studio.[7]
The duo wore clothes designed by a range of high-fashion outlets such as Calvin Klein, Alexander Wang, Dior, and Versace, among others.[8] Since its premiere on November 2, 2018, the video has received over 30 million views.[9] Fellow rapper Kanye West praised the video on his Twitter.[10] Tosten Burks of Spin likened the video to the film Blade Runner.[11]
The duo performed the song at Redbull's Music Festival in May 2019.[12] [13] Following the performance, Trace William Owen of Complex magazine praised the performance and said "[audiences] don't talk enough about 'Fukk Sleep'".[14]
